Supreme Court.

Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood manager-turned pro-life activist, said:.

A group of 450 former students signed a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, telling senators that their support was “driven not by politics, but by the belief that Professor Barrett is supremely qualified.” And she had the unanimous support of her 49 Notre Dame colleagues, who wrote that they had a “wide range of political views” but were “united however in our judgment about Amy.”.

Carter Snead, a friend of Barrett’s, when it became clear she was among the top candidates for the open Supreme Court seat.

“There is no one more qualified to be on the Supreme Court in terms of her accomplishments, intellect, and integrity,” he said.

With the nomination of Barrett, however, the issue of abortion will likely be magnified further.

Since her appointment to the court of appeals, Barrett has dealt with state abortion law on two occasions, both by supporting appeals for the full bench to rehear a case decided by a three-judge panel.

In 2018, Barrett joined Judge Frank Easterbrook’s dissent from the denial of rehearing by the full court of appeals in the case of a challenge to an Indiana law that would both ban abortions based on race, sex, or disability, and also require fetal remains to be either buried or cremated following an abortion.

Supreme Court ultimately heard the case of a challenge to the law by Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky (PPINK) and the ACLU. Planned Parenthood claimed the new law placed undue burden on a woman’s right to choose an abortion and that it violated women’s privacy since the group does not ask women the reason for seeking an abortion.

While she was teaching law at Notre Dame, Barrett also publicly disagreed with the contraceptive mandate, the provision of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) that required birth control to be freely accessible to all women without copay.

Appearing as a guest at Family Research Council Action’s Values Voter Summit Friday evening, Carrie Severino, chief counsel and policy director of the Judicial Crisis Network, said Barrett is “an incredible role model for me as a mother and a lawyer to see all that she has accomplished in her life.”.

Pro-life activist Johnson, who delivered a groundbreaking address in August at the Republican National Convention that bared the violence of abortion and the stark choice facing Americans in the upcoming election, said the president’s nomination of Barrett shows he is continuing to fulfill “the promises he made during his first campaign to nominate justices that would be faithful to the Constitution.”.

Americans will recognize when those who claim to fight for women turn around and attack and bully Amy Coney Barrett because they don’t like what she stands for

Dannenfelser reflected on the meaning of Barrett’s nomination during Family Research Council Action’s Values Voter Summit this week

“The pride, the vanity, the comfort that comes with being a Supreme Court justice, is not to be underestimated,” she said
